Electronic redistribution induced by interaction between ruthenium nanoparticles and Ni–N(O)–C sites boosts alkaline water electrolysis

Abstract

Ultrafine ruthenium nanoparticles are encapsulated by single-atom Ni-bonded graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) layers anchored on carbon nanotubes (Ru/Ni-CNCT). The enhanced electronic interaction between Ru nanoparticles and Ni–N(O)–C sites anchored in g-C3N4 layers promotes water adsorption/dissociation and hydrogen evolution.
